Change History
Changes made from version 2.0 to 2.1 Beta:
Added 'Route to Home' that allows the user to quickly route to their specified
home location.
Added support for GPX file import.
Added drawing labels over routes. This significantly improves road-sign
visibility.
Added 'Simulate GPS' feature.
Added support for drag and drop of supported file types.
Added support for custom waypoint symbols. There are eight default custom
waypoint symbols located in the user’s application data directory under the
Garmin\Common\CustomWaypointSymbols. nRoute will handle up to 64 custom
waypoints named 000.bmp through 063.bmp.
Added ability to route back to the start of the current route.
Added limited support for BlueChart and MetroGuide 5 and greater.
Added support for Waypoint Categories.
Added better support for Unlock Wizard. Now Unlock Wizard can get the unit ID
from a unit that nRoute is connected to without stopping nRoute.
Added ability to create a route from a set of selected waypoints.
Added menu item to launch nRoute software update web page.
Fixed issue where nRoute would crash when on the Satellite page in Windows 98
and ME.
Added context menu to toolbar to control visibility of toolbars and other
controls.
Added Avoid Carpool Lanes to Routing preferences.
Added ability for the user to associate file links or Internet addresses with
waypoints, routes, and tracks. These links will be exported to text and DXF
files when a file export is performed.
Added support for vertical profiles of routes on maps that support vertical
route profile information.
Changed the waypoint dialog to allow the user to show more or less detail. The
default setting is to show less detail.
Added 'find recent' and 'find nearest' options to the route dialog.
Updated to use the new GDB file format.
Updated the route dialog to copy a text version of the via-points onto the
clipboard. Also provided the capability to copy the text of driving directions
to the clipboard from the driving directions tab.
Added temperature and time stamp to waypoints.
Improved the vertical track profile by making the window resizable and adding
keyboard support for scrolling and zooming.
Added the accelerator Ctrl-Alt-F to bring up the Recently Found Places.
Added new waypoint symbols to MapSource. Added the following symbols in the
colors red, green, and blue: flags, pins, circles, ovals, rectangles, blocks,
letters A-D, numbers 0-9, and triangles. In addition, added the following
individual symbols: blue diamonds, blue squares, bike trail, police station,
fishing hot spot facility, ski resort, ice skating, wrecker, no anchor, beacon,
coast guard, reef, weed bed, drop off, dock, marina, bait and tackle, and
stump. Modified the waypoint symbol previously called 'marina' to now be called
'anchor' to better associate it with the symbol.
Changed medical facility symbol to a blue cross.
Fixed issue where nRoute would fail if a value in the registry became
corrupted.
Fixed an issue where some map features could be drawn incorrectly when at max
zoom.
Fixed issue where MapSource would fail when doing certain combinations of data
operations in the route dialog.
Made changes to decrease the amount of flickering that occurs when resizing
certain dialogs.
Updated address searching for compatibility with some new map products.
Fixed issue with searching in multi-product families where a map from the wrong
product could be shown behind the search result displayed in the route dialog.
Updated some route calculation parameters for more optimal routing solutions.
Fixed issue with searching in multi-product families where features from a
non-current product might be ignored.
